I don't know about others, but VOLA music definitely feels like getting a hug. A firm, confident, warm and comforting Scandinavian hug that smells like cinnamon buns and apple pastries that is there for you on a cold, wet, short winter day. I could go on, but I think I've made my weird point. Long live VOLA.
VOLA are some of the nicest people ever. I seen them in Toronto last year and it was the BEST concert I've ever been to. I recently went through an apartment fire where I lost everything, including my vast collection of VOLA merch. They heard about it, reached out and sent me a care package including shirts, albums, patches, picks, and a handwritten postcard. During one of the lowest moments of my life, that put a gigantic smile on my face amd I soo desperately needed that. They simply are the best. I'm soo excited for new music :)
Not many key players out there these days. Bands will just use midi programming and a daw to program the synths, samples, keys etc. To handle the same task. Vola could easily be a 3 piece band if the wanted but they rather give the true meaning of musician workmanship to their dude that kills it being their keys player. Not bashing bands that do the alternative because sometimes it's just cheaper and easier to go that route, but it shows Volas gracious character as band. They were definitely a treat seeing them in Dallas!
i found this band bc craig reynolds posted a reaction video to adam playing 24 light years. there have been some losses in my life that i never wanted to get over. "i could leave this house, but i won't. there's an echo that seems to live on." hearing that line definitely felt like a hug i had waited years to get. VOLA forever
YAAAAASSSSS! I came across Vola in 2021 and they’ve been a personal favorite ever since. Asger is a role model- singing and ripping those riffs simultaneously is madness. Couldn’t have clicked this any faster!!
@@TruzFest fun fact, I was hoping for leprous on the Graspop line up this year. No luck. So I went through the line up in search for similar bands and Vola came up. I checked them out before the gig and was blown away. And their performance on Graspop was absolutely fantastic. This November Eindhoven gig, check!
VOLA is an excellent example of why peace and harmony among the band members is so crucial and how it can improve the quality of the music. I love this band and wish them nothing but the best.
Yes! I drove hours to see them at the beat kitchen in 2022. Adam was so nice and genuine to chat with after the show. 🤘 The band was taking photos with people after the show. When it was my turn in line, I asked to get a photo with Adam by his kit and the band members had a laugh in the best way 🤘 I then said "he's one of my favorite drummers currently, dudes unique." Genuinely mean it. 🙏🏻 Hope they keep getting exposure and getting a bigger audience.
I was going through a very tumultuous time in my life. I separated from my partner I lived with for nearly 8 years. I drove a lot for my job, building lifts and elevators throughout vermont. One day on the road I found Vola. Applause of a distant crowd resonated with me in a profound way. That song to this day brings me back to a state of mind I wish to sustain. Joyous and indifferent to the bullshit.
VOLA’s music is like getting a big bear hug! A hug that’s strong and real and so fiercely present. Perfectly designed and prepared for any moment in life. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Cheers VOLA!
I was lucky enough to see VOLA a few years ago for their first ever North American show in the basement of the Middle East Club in Boston (Cambridge). What they were able to deliver was everything we were ready for and more. Incredible experience, incredible sound, incredible vibes in the crowd. VOLA were truly humble and appreciative of the crowd for their first NA experience and it showed throughout the night. Hard to describe the atmospheric and happy feelings experienced at a metal show but we went home with smiles on our faces for days. Just wish this session had Stray the Skies as that song has got to be my favorite/sounds absolutely amazing live. Lovely people, lovely music, more people need to experience it.
Verlos en la Ciudad de México fue asombroso! Se montaron un show con luces fantástico y una calidad en el audio que pocas veces se puede encontrar en conciertos no tan "grandes" o masivos pero lo que realmente impresionó fue la "energía" que tienen ellos. Un concierto genial! Qué gusto que cada vez tengan un poco más de reconocimiento en medios!
I LOVE seeing VOLA receiving the attention they deserve! 🖤 They've been on my musical radar since 2018 with the release of Applause of a Distant Crowd. Then Witness came out, and has been one of my all time favorite albums. I can't wait to hear what they do next!
VOLA has gotta be the one band that I can listen to on repeat and never get tired of, especially 24 light years. That track in particular is just my song.
Asger's 7 string Balaguer is literally what i can not stop drooling over. Its everything i want in an extended range guitar. 🥲 Saw them in Dallas and boy do they sound so musical and dynamic. Like literally putting on your favorite earbuds and listening to the audio on spotify. Mmmmmmm
i found this band mid covid, not being able to go or do much of anything, and this band was definitely the hug that i needed. They mean the world to me. last year saw them live in washington dc and it was magical.
I remember first listening to VOLAs first EP and being so confused, intrigued and impressed. Was just something I wanted to immediately hear more of and learn more about. That live video where they stood in their original formation in a circle I must have watched a thousand times. Really cool to see this evolution so many years later with their new formation standing again in a circle on my favorite live music radio/channel. I feel like a young lad again, thank you VOLA and Audiotree for that.
Isto é absolutamente fabuloso, uma vertente do rock progressivo que eu nunca tinha ouvido ainda. Pura energia. Ansioso por uma possível passagem de Vola pelo Brasil.
Love these gentlemen and so many things that they generate. Witness is one of the best front to back albums of any genre of the last decade. What a joy to be alive while Vola is making music. Cheers to them.
I found VOLA when they released Homesick Machinery way back, been listening to them ever since. One of if not my favorite prog band of all time. I got to see them at Prog Power in Atlanta in 2023, was a fantastic performance and an unforgettable experience for me. Love those guys, can't wait to see them live again!
I recently got into Vola’s music and I’ve enjoyed every minute. It’s finally bringing more musicality, melody and meaning into modern metal. They’re definitely one of the most important bands of this decade.
I saw them on the first NA tour with Earthside. Been a fan since Inmazes but Applause from a distant crowd is what captivated me. Saw them in Baltimore!
Just found Vola a few weeks ago and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the music. It’s heavy, light, beautiful, spacey and tight all at the same time. Easily becoming one of my favorite bands. Come to Texas so I can see you live! 😊
This guys and this set feel like a medication. Have been with this band since 2021 and never disappointed. Their unique metal-lullaby sound is amazing! A couple of years ago you guys helped me a lot with kind of a mental struggle. Cheers from Moscow, Russia❣️ Thank you Audiotree for this incredible video and audio work. Everything stays in the right place, performing experience is on the level. Amazing production🤝🏻 P.S.: New single is a f*cking banger! Can’t get out of it. Great job🤘🏼
Can't stress how much i love this band. So proud to be from the same country and having had the pleasure of getting to know Asger and Nicolai -absolutely brilliant!
Remember the in studio playthroughs of songs from Inmazes and how amazing those were. These guys are brilliant musicians who deserve the success they've seen. Also, Adam is an absolute animal behind the kit.
Loved it. I was at the México City gig with some of my best friends and that gig blew our minds! One of the best shows I've ever seen and attended. The crowd was crazy!!! Can't wait for your return. México is your home whenever you want.
I'm so glad to be alive at this exact moment where i get to watch this live performance; I LOVE VOLA And i love the fact Audiotree is promoting Creativity and art creation... keep on!
VOLA's music seems very warm to me, specially songs like 'Ruby Pool', it takes you to a very comforting place. Thank you for this live concert and a wonderful interview!
